Or, just buy it all from SPE to begin with and get the MCC unlock code and tunes included in the price.

I don't know if there would be any advantages to having the international version or not. I bought the tuner from SPE that is listed as a "race" tuner on their website. What I received from SPE was labeled by H&S as a "street" tuner, but I received an MCC unlock code and custom race tunes from SPE - all of which are supposed to work on 13's and 14's. I haven't tried it yet, as I have a severe lack of free time right now.

There are cheaper vendors than SPE for a delete capable "street" tuner. SPE is charging $1850 for a mini maxx and $1650 for an XRT!. I know that supply has decreased substantially since H&S quit providing delete tuning directly, but to me this seems like price gouging considering I paid just over $1k for my mini maxx race AND delete pipe in 2012.
I know of a dealer selling delete capable XRT pros for $1300 and mini maxxs for $1500.
I don't want to post their name on here because I don't want to expose them to potential EPA liability, PM me if you want the contact info.

For the record, I installed my international part numbered mini maxx Friday night (dpf on till next week when my exhaust and block off plates come in) and it worked flawlessly on my 2014 f350. It did give me the option for emissions equipment which means it is capable of doing the deletes. So if you can get your hands on one, go for it no reason to worry. With that being said I do have a question about some of the information on the screen( trying not to start a new thread). On the bottom right corner their is little box that usually has a D and than a number in it and the faster I drive the number increases 1-6 so it will say D1 than D2 and so on and so forth. Also while I am moving next to this box it says TC Locked. It is only there when moving not stationary. Anyone have any idea what either of those things mean? Thanks

That is what gear your transmission is in. D1 = 1st up to D6 = 6th
TC Locked is when your transmission has its torque converter locked. On the transmission in this truck, it is capable of locking the torque converter in 3rd gear and up, and will typically try to lock up as quickly as possible to maximise fuel economy. When this happens your drivetrain is "locked", i.e. rpm increase should match wheel speed increase. Older transmissions (like the 4R100 behind the 7.3) typically only allowed lockup in top gear.
